Pat Buchanan's Occupy Prediction

On this week's McLaughlin Group, Buchanan predicted something that worried me a little.

“It’s going to end very, very badly with these folks in the winter and they’re not going to be getting publicity and they’re going to be acting up and acting badly like the worst of the demonstrators in the 60s," Buchanan said. "They’re going to start fighting with the cops.”

The riots in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention were most likely instigated by Buchanan and the Nixon campaign -- they hired goons to infiltrate the protest and to deliberately antagonize the police. Hearing this sort of prediction from Buchanan about Occupy Wall Street is a little creepy.
